I had a very large and comfortable room overlooking the park, It was very nice. The restaurant downstairs has great food and the bar is charming with a combination of old world and new. The only issue was the lift was not working when I was there which is an issue if you have a lot of suitcases. It’s also located close to the university, shopping and good restaurants. Would stay there again.

This hotel is small and charming, the room was clean. The staff were friendly and couldn't be more accommodating. They went above and beyond for our birthday. The food was lovely. We had breakfast and dinner, and both were exceptional. The bar was very lively, especially on the Saturday, but plenty of space to sit down. It is a little outside of the city centre but easily walkable. There was good restaurants near by if we didn't want to go into old town. We would definitely stay here again
